Hello Arne, I now updated my Emacs to 31.0.50 (org-version is showing 9.7.11). With my doom emacs config and the minimal config I provided earlier the issue still persists.
This is strange. The Emacs-version I am using on macOS is this one: https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus I installed it with macOS homebrew as such: brew install emacs-plus@31 --with-dbus --with-xwidgets --with-imagemagick --with-modern-doom-icon I could maybe try if it behaves differently on an x86 Linux machine (compared to my ARM macOS)... not today though.
